COMBlNED TABLE AND BED.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 315,518, dated April14, 1835.

Application led January 16,1884. (No model.) l A To all whom it mayconcern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC LEvY, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of 5Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CombinedTable and Bed, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawings. i

My invention relates to an improved combination of a table and bed. Theobject it has in view is to obtain an article of furniture which willserve the double purpose of a table and a bed, and which will thereforeoccupy but a small space, and be convenient and useful at all times; andto that end the invention consists of the novel combination of certainparts, as will be described and claimed.

Reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure lis a perspective of the device when used as a table, showing oneextension-leaf in position for use and the other in position when not inuse; Fig. 2, a side elevation of the same; Fig. 3, a perspective of thedevice when used as a bed, showing the extensions of the table employedas rests and tables; Fig. 4, a section through the bed, and Fig. 5 asection when folded as a' table.

Like letters refer to like parts in each view. The main frame of thedevice is supported on legs B, which may be made removable, if desired,and is provided with bottoms C D, separated sufficiently from each otherto form a space, a, in which an extension-frame, E, rests and moves,said frame being provided with alug, b, which contacts with one end railof frame A and limits the outward movement of the extension-frame, andthis frame is provided with legs F, which also may be made removable,and upon which it is supported, then occupying theposition shown inFigs. 2, 3, and 4. Extension E is also provided with a hinged end piece,k, which serves to close the space between the lower edge of theremovable piece g, to be hereinafter referred to, and the upper edge ofthe end of said extension, as shown in Fig. 1. Frame A is provided oneach side and at a point above bot- 5o tom C with plates c o', betweenwhich a space,

d, is left, the lower plate, c', being provided with notches d', intowhich projecting pins e of leaves G are inserted whenit is desired tofasten said leaves to the sides of the frame.

It will be understood that the notches dai'e of such a size that theywill admit the shanks of pins e, but will not allow of the'withdrawal ofsaid pins, because of their heads, unless the leaf is slightly raised tobring the shank to the slot or space d. One end of frame A is closed bya stationary end piece, f, while the opposite end, when the device isused as a table, is closed by a removable end piece, g, said end piece gbeing inserted into suitable` grooves formed in the sides of frame A andupon the inner faces thereof, these grooves not being` shown indrawings. Hinged to frame A is a frame, H, which, when inthe position asshown in Fig. l, forms the top of the table, said frames A H being heldin place by a hook,

h, which is adapt-ed to engage with a suitable 3 eye or projecting pin,i, as shown in Fig. 2. To the sides of frame H are secured arms I,provided with sliding catch j, and upon the 'side edge of the top ofsaid frame areprovided .projecting pins k', which enter into notches l,y

formed in the edges of leaves G, when it is desired to utilize saidleaves as-cxtensions for the table, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In bottomD of frame A are formed grooves, in which move arms J, which may bedrawn out from either side of the frame, and are designed to support theleaves G when the device is used as abed, as shown in Fig. 3, saidleaves then serving as rests, this arrangement being found especiallydesirable in case of sickness.

To change the device from table to bed, the extension Eis drawn out, theframe H turned back so as to rest ou said extension, and the removableend piece g changed from its original position to the opposite end ofthe frame A to form a head board. The interior of frames A H beinghollow, there is sufcient space left therein for a mattress, K, apillow,
